I bought new tail lights for my 1998 E320. i installed them and they fit nicely but there was only one problem. The brake light sockets+bulbs didn't fit in correctly on the new housing. While the car was on, I had my friend tap the breaks while I tried to fix one side. I soon got that side to be in the right place. Then I went to the other side and all of the brake lights just turned off and the BASS ASR light turned on.

I have been trying to get an explanation for this and it seems to be quite hard. I would really appreicate any immediate responses. Thanks
